Megadeth were playing on february 13 2008 at the Atelier, in Luxemburg City.
The Atelier is a small club in Luxemburg, but a very nice venue, with a balcony, a pit, and cheap beer.
Luxembourg is just 3 to 4 hours by car from Paris, so with 4 friends we decided to go there and see the band on ther United Abominations "Tour Of Duty" 2008.
Seeing the band playing at a small venue is a great experience! It feels like going back to the club days in the early 80's! Not that Megadeth is less popular in Europe, it is a huge band, but Luxemburg is a small country.
The light show was right. Not a huge production but anything we needed for a club show.
The set list was just great, playing new song from the excellent United Abominations as well as some older tunes. We also had rare songs like "Mechanix", "Take No Prisoners" and "Ashes in Your Mouth"...These are not often played live!
This tour was the first with Chris Broderick, and the guy really fits into the band! He plays the solos the right way! I've never heard the "Holy Wars" clear passage so well played on live. I hope he will stay for a long time in Megdeth, he deserves a band like this.
I have to admit that I miss David Ellefson in Megadeth, but James LoMenzo does an excellent work and you can see that he is having fun with the band! I think dave Mustaine has just found a great line-up, and I hope it will stay this way for a long time.
It was 1 hour and 45 minutes of great music...it always seens so short...
After the show we went to Bronx, a Metal Bar in Luxemburg, and then we slept at a friend's place in Longwy, a french city not far from the border.
Long Live Megadeth!
